Lyrics

You can't have your kate and edith too
Writers bobby braddock, curly putman

We went out on a double date
Me and edith, you and kate
Before we got past their front gate
There you were making eyes at edith
While you were making time with kate

You can't have your kate and edith, too
You, rascal, you. yodel-ay-hee-hoo

Then we went to a drive-in show
You were kissing on kate. she wouldn't let you go
I looked at edith, started feeling bold
I found your big, hairy hand holding on
To the hand I was trying to hold

You can't have your kate and edith, too
You, rascal, you. yodel-ay-hee-hoo

Edith asked me if I would
Get her some popcorn. I said I would
When I got back, dad-blame if you
Hadn't crawled into the backseat with
Edith. and kate was back there, too!

You can't have your kate and edith, too
You, rascal, you. yodel-ay-hee-hoo

Years have passed since that first date
I married edith. you married kate
Now every night when I come home
Your car's in the driveway, kate's in the car
And you and edith are in the house alone!

You can't have your kate and edith, too
You, rascal, you. yodel-ay-hee-hoo
